    Why can't Delvin Rodriguez get a break?

    I just watched the D-Rod/Jackiewicz fight and don't see how Jackiewicz could have won more than 3 rounds yet got the judges nod and when I saw D-Rod/Theophane on FNFs I scored it 7-3 for Delvin even though they gave it to Theophane. I have not seen the fights he had with Hlatshwayo but I understand they were close so if anyone has seen them let me know who you thought won both fights.

    My point is 2 blatant robberies and gets a D and loses a SD all in a short span of 2 years. Why haven't things gone Rodriguez's way recently? He is a good fighter, maybe not the best athlete but solid in terms of technical skill.

    I personally would consider him a top 10 WW.

      Its a shame he doesn't have a little more power so he can take it out of judges hands. D-rod has enough pop to keep opponents cautious but he doesn't have ko power in single shots and would need well placed combinations to get opponents out of there.
